Ireland is moving from "local digitisation" toward a more platform-centric era. Health reform and regionally aligned governance are converging with national digital health programmes, tightening the definition of what "Ireland-ready" looks like. In this environment, acute-care EHR strategy is no longer just a hospital system choice; it is increasingly a national-platform fit question that spans shared-care participation, standards-based data exchange, identity and patient matching discipline, and demonstrable operational outcomes.
The report is positioned as a decision support companion rather than a scorecard. It does not provide vendor rankings, market-share claims, or purchase recommendations. Instead, it consolidates Ireland's practical constraints and "must-fit" requirements into a single narrative intended to help buyers scope procurements and help suppliers align product, delivery capacity, and compliance posture to Irish realities.
A core finding is that Ireland's market direction is being shaped by a tightly linked set of technology and policy forces. Black Book frames the 2026-2030 window through seven interconnected trends, including National EHR mobilisation moving from concept to execution readiness; shared-care record expectations becoming the interoperability center of gravity; medicines infrastructure modernising in tandem with national ePrescribing and dispensing enablement; the consumer experience shifting toward an HSE-aligned digital front door; operational analytics and early AI moving closer to workflow-adjacent decision support; and cyber resilience, sovereignty, and auditability becoming procurement gates rather than afterthoughts.
What the report is designed to help Ireland's stakeholders do
The report is built to help stakeholders translate Ireland's national direction into practical scoping, architecture, and validation work. It focuses on:
Converting national platform participation into procurement-ready requirements and integration scope
Stress-testing "core EHR plus ecosystem" architectures for interoperability, medicines safety, imaging, and consumer access
Aligning delivery mobilisation to Ireland's capacity constraints, governance realities, and cyber assurance expectations
Defining measurable outcomes and validation checkpoints that can survive contracting and go-live pressure
Practical decision support included in the Ireland HIT report
To move from narrative to procurement execution, Black Book includes a strategic-fit model structured as an 18-dimension evaluation framework. Rather than treating identity, PAS integration, documentation, orders/results, medication safety, interoperability, governance, cyber, hosting, and delivery capacity as separate workstreams, the framework brings them into a single scoring lens intended for clinical validation and architectural decision-making in Ireland's multi-programme environment.
The report also clarifies Ireland's "non-negotiables" for acute-care EHR fit. In the Irish context, EHR choices increasingly have to anticipate national platform participation, standards-based exchange direction and API expectations, secure messaging and referral workflows, imaging integration as a first-class clinical workflow requirement, and medicines infrastructure alignment. Practically, "digital hospital" in Ireland is being defined less by feature breadth and more by integration completeness, patient-identity integrity, and the ability to operate safely under cyber pressure.
